Chapter 46: Dangerous
He soon arrived at the vestibule of the underground palace. According to the records obtained by Hu Bin, this is the place where slaves who built the underground palace were buried, and it is also the place where the corpses of royal members were finally sorted out before they were put into the coffin. What was beyond Hu Bin was that the slaves here actually had other uses, and the word "blood sacrifice" actually appeared in this poor world. Perhaps it was a religious ceremony, and Hu Bin thought he was too fussy.
The lighting torches installed at the entrance of the underground palace were lit, and the scene in the front hall was revealed in the highlights one by one, allowing everyone to take a breath of air conditioning. A large pit in front was filled with human corpses, and a suspension bridge crossed the pit and led to the platform opposite. How many people died in the pit? Ten thousand, 50,000 or more. Everyone dared not continue thinking, maybe it would be a good thing to destroy such an empire.
The team that accelerated their pace quickly arrived at the platform. What disappointed them was that the place was obviously plundered, and a gap was opened to the main hall of the tomb. Hu Bin accidentally saw a corpse in the pit with clothes remaining. His eyes shrank and he thought of some possibilities. It seemed that this ruin would not be too simple.
The people who advanced to the main hall finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although some people had explored this place, they obviously failed. The items in the main hall were neatly arranged on the shelves, and mysterious totems and patterns were painted on the walls around them. The blank space can be inferred that there were decorative flags and curtains there a long time ago, but it was corroded away after too long.
Most of the items and weapons of the burial were rusted and weathered. There were no complete sentences in the books on the bookshelf. The traces of time were spread throughout this open crypt hall. It seemed that the open main hall door made these items not able to withstand the test of time. Everyone checked the corners of the main hall, and only some antiques that were not particularly damaged were found. Friesen, who was disappointed, cursed the group of idiots who opened the door. He couldn't take much of it, and later he lost a lot of gains in vain.
However, those seniors might have really heard the thief's complaints. A corpse was found near the gate of the enclosed room. However, it looked very strange. The man hid himself in a closed environment with a bookshelf and then committed suicide.
The rust degree of the dagger in the corpse's hand was not serious, but such a desperate way of death made everyone alert, and unknown danger was covering the adventure team.
There were many objects in the backpack next to the body, but most of them were incomplete. What Hu Bin cares about the most was a diary that only half was left. After being identified by Su Jia, the universal translator, they got such information from their pretty intact handwriting.
"On the morning of the seventh day, the Karants chased each other and we were forced into the curse land, wishing us... (name) to bless us.
Maybe it was evening, maybe it was eighth morning, who knew. Thanks to our Carter, his transformation trap stopped the group of lunatics, we...."
In the following days, it seemed that the owner of the diary had no records, but Hu Bin still saw some clues from the subsequent records.
"I don't know what day it was, but the enemy was still blocking the door. We didn't have much water anymore. Someone suggested fighting with them, but the captain still made the decision to enter.
I'm scared that the legend says that those who enter here will be cursed, but we have no choice.
The pit behind the door frightened us, and everyone wanted to stay away from there as soon as possible. We had an argument in front of the next door, and several mercenaries who were unwilling to move forward were killed by the captain.
The door was still opened, and I felt like I was cursed by the evil spirits. But the next gain made everyone forget the curse, and a large amount of wealth was piled up there, the captain laughed wildly, and I felt that my party would die here."
A large piece of the diary was missing here. The pages behind seemed to be written in blood, which was more blurred than the previous handwriting. Su Jia only identified a few words.
"···················································."
After reading the records in the diary, everyone looked bad. It was certain that the group of people encountered some danger in the end, and they committed suicide in despair. However, there was only one corpse in the main hall, and some traces should be left wherever the others went.
The adventure team stayed here for a day, and Hu Bin gave them plenty of time to think about whether to continue taking risks. They might encounter unexpected dangers next. He did not want anyone to collapse and drag him down.
Pastor Lorraine secretly released the detection of evil at the gate and told Hu Bin that he had found no trace. However, the environment here suppressed him, and he could feel a malice surrounding everyone, which might be an invasion of alien energy.
Hu Bin knew that Lorraine was suppressed by the world's rules and could not judge other information, but everyone else decided to continue to move forward. The adventurers would not stop their adventures by the murmur of a mentally broken madman. Everyone was fully energetic, and the thief was signaled by Hu Bin and slowly unlocked the door.
Hu Bin and the others finally found the previous tomb robbers. It seemed that they had encountered something inside. The first person who came out locked the door and the others were trapped inside. Several mummies were upside down at the door. They were protected by the intact and closed environment and could still vaguely see the despair during their lifetime. The team that continued to move forward discovered a spiral staircase leading to the ground. Hu Bin and others piled up some large debris at the door to prevent the door from closing by themselves. Then they walked into the stairs with a little curiosity.
Everyone who went down to the end encountered no accidents, but found several other mummies in the room at the entrance of the stairs. After passing through the room, everyone was shocked by an open hall. This was not built on the surface. Although the crypt I encountered before was also very large, it was obviously dug up the ground for construction, and the space here was excavated bit by bit.
Large pieces of floor tiles make the hall flat and solemn, and the exquisite curtain wall carvings are dazzling. A statue of a majestic man stands in the center of the square, perhaps the owner of the tomb. There is no information about this huge project, and adventurers explore the hall with awe of the glory of the ancient empire.
Suddenly, the ground began to vibrate. Hu Bin shouted in secret and hurriedly ran towards Su Jia. The flat and open terrain reduced everyone's vigilance, and the team was no longer as tight as before. Hu Bin, who was exploring with the thieves in front, still did not meet with Su Jia at the end of the team. The separated floor tiles and the walls rising from the gap divided the members of the team.
When the shaking that made people stand unsteadily stopped, Hu Bin found that only the Eagle Nose and the Priest Lorraine were left beside him. Yes, the team of bow and pastoral dungeons was complete.
"I'm careless!" Hu Bin was not worried about Su Jia's safety. There were many Hu Bin's subordinates in her position, but she was a little annoyed.
Hu Bin greeted the remaining two companions and continued to explore the hall that had become a maze. He took out a stone slab with a magic array from his backpack, which was plundered from the numberer of the captive Rodok. He could contact other targets that had been positioned within a certain distance, but the use requirement was to have magic power. Hu Bin activated the magic array and tried to contact Howard and Su Jia, but the space prompted that the communication was closed. Hu Bin almost threw the stone slab. Do you think this is China Mobile and it is also electromagnetically shielded.
Hu Bin, who had no choice but to lead the two people around by intuition, then met a line of words at a fork in the road. Hu Bin, who equated with illiteracy in this world, had a tragedy. Lorraine walked up to identify it, told Hu Bin that he could understand it, and then said sincerely in Hu Bin's surprised expression: "Master, don't you know that all doctors in this world are transferred from scholars."
Well, Hu Bin lost to Lorraine in terms of IQ. Fortunately, someone can understand the prompts better than running around. The handwriting on the wall means: "The left is light, the right is dark, but there will always be shadows under the light, and light will be nurtured in the dark."
It is very philosophical. Hu Bin said that he could only give such insights and pretend to understand if he didn't understand. The above prompt said it was the same as if he didn't say it.
"Darkness does give birth to light, but it doesn't even have the courage to pursue it. What's the use of getting the favor of light?" Lorraine said this sentence with a charlatan.
Hu Bin decisively adopted it and walked towards the fork on the left, so they encountered the legendary shadow.
Hu Bin and others were attacked by the rolling stones. The trap maker specially picked a long corridor with no fork within a hundred meters to set up the trap. The huge rolling stone brought the shadow of death to Hu Bin's group.
"Your sister's Lorraine!" Hu Bin grabbed the priest's collar and ran away quickly. Finally, he escaped on a fork in the road with the hook nose to avoid the rolling stones, and then found that the exit of the maze was right in front.
